Hi,

 

Apart from disabling the interfaces involved, there is another way of doing it safely without disabling interfaces, so It is like:

 

  • When creating the Virtual Server or SNAT/NAT IPs on disable status -> associate them to a VLAN [dummy VLAN that doesn't propagate to the Network]: Configuration[Advanced]>>VLAN and Tunnel Traffic>>Enabled on>>Select VLAN. And afterward, disable ARP advertising and ICMP echo responses as per the link mentioned above by Jana Bollineni.

Hope that does help, it did to us.
